This event is free, but registration is strongly encouraged to reserve your spot. An agenda is included below - Puget Sound Community members are free to come for one or for all events. The starting point of all events will be the Thomas Hall Tahoma Room.
Museums to Minds: Dynamic Data Visualization in Kinetic Sculpture
Come see the cross-discipline work of summer research students in action - data from the Neshyba Physical Chemistry Lab displayed on the kinetic sculpture constructed by Prof. Hirsh's summer research student. Watch the sculpture's movement through mathematical formulas and chemistry data and hear from the artist and scientists behind the piece. The sculpture will run through its 5-8 minute sequence every 20 minutes, so please drop-in and see what we've been working on - you might even learn something new!
